Paul Davis [Covers & Original, Dep Musician]
Known unofficially to punters and musicians who see me playing as the "DEP WHORE"(!), I am a keen bassist and keyboardist with some harmony vocal ability, who has spent most of the 21st Century trying to share a gigging stage with as many different performers as possible, for the experiences, the variety and the chance to play different venues, different acts, different punters, different genres and simply to make playing live that bit more interesting.I've played numerous styles of music, from rock to reggae, from metal to Motown, from ska to soul, and from unplugged soirees in living rooms to festivals with several thousand people, with many things in between (weddings, hosting jams, pubs, parties, halls, care homes, festivals).I can improvise well too, for those deviation from the arrangement moments!CHECK MY ALMOST-LEGENDARY CONSTANTLY-UPDATED AVAILABILITY DIARYI have performed gigs with 3 Time, 360, 80s Unplug, Abakus, Abstracts, Agenda, Alex Harris, Alice Simpson, Andre Martin & Friends, Bad Monkey Driver, Beat Magic & The Flower, Beauties & The Beasts, Beerkats, Big Boys Noise, Blacksmith, Blow Up, Burlesque, Candy Twist, Cat's Eyes, Chalfonts, Chancers, Chilled Out, Co-Jones, Coda, Code Red, Cool Beans, Coral Room, Covered In Skas, Crop Circle, Crumbles, Dakota Smile, Deaf Shepherd, DeLorean, Denotones, Down 2 Earth, Drop The Monkey, Ellie Dee, Equivalents, Faith Stealers, Fast Track, Fingers Of Rightness, Five Fold Kiss, Fleetwood John, Food Of Love, Fridge Magnates, Gary Brown, Gary Hamstead, Gemma Salter, Gravity, Green Genie, Guards, Half Stacked, Harmonica Lewinsky, Hawaii 5 0, Hitched, Holly Graham, Horizon, Hot Ice, Huggy Flares, Hummingbirds, Iconics, Isabelle, J Starck, Jay Joseph, Katie Plus Juan, Kirsta And The Kelts, Kirsta Johnston, Landlords, Lantern, Lawful Rebel, Let's Get It On, Looters, MacLaren Wall, Malice, Maxipep, Melanie Wall, Melon Pips, Midnight Ramblers, Midweekenders, Mighty Goodfellaz, Miles Better Band, Minika Green, Mistreated, Mojo, Molly Ames, More Than Acoustic, Mr Rainmaker, Mr Speaker, No Alibi, Off The Record, Outliars, Oxtoby, Paparazzi, Pat & The Butchers, PEP, Petty Criminals, Picked At Random, Pimp My Band, Pimps, Planesong, Planet X, PPS, Reggulaters, Resonance, Right Hand Drive, Rodford Files, Shaken Not Stirred, Skakats, Something For The Weekend, Soul City, SoulMoFunk, Spillage, Starlings, Stax, Steve & The Tributes, Steve Oakman, Storm, Supatime, Susanne Emery, Swanvesta Social Club, Sweet Revenge, Take A Chance, Take Cover, Taller Than Elvis, Tantris, Tatanka, Taylormade, Tess And The Durbervilles, Texas Flyers, Thank Funk, Third Party, Three Ronnies, True Blue Monday, Undercover, Valleys, Van Gogh's Ear, W3Detour, White Rabbit, Wibbley Brothers, Wired, X-Certs & XL.Just check my Lemonrock diary and let me know the following for the quickest turnaround answer:#1: WHEN THE GIG IS, WHERE THE GIG IS, WHAT INSTRUMENT YOU WANT ME TO PLAY (keys or bass) AND HOW MUCH IT'S PAYING ME.#2: AND IF POSSIBLE, A TYPICAL/EXACT SET LIST FOR THE GIG.I'm based on the Herts/Cambs border, so while local-ish gigs are preferred, I CAN travel further for the right money.And sorry, but I no longer cover dep gigs that require me to physically attend band rehearsals.I can however learn unfamiliar songs (even originals) if provided with a decent-ish recording or Youtube link.I play completely by ear, so writing out charts or musical notation are going to be a waste of your valuable time!And final polite notice ... no freebie, expenses or unpaid "prestige" gigs please. I love playing live, but I have bills to pay. ❤Please visit my Youtube channel for plenty of real-world gig clips of what I get up to!Thanks for reading, and hope I can help the show to go on for other acts, for venues and for the punters.Many thanks,Paul DavisTel: 01763262896Email: info@pauldavismusic.co.ukFacebook: www.facebook.com/pauldavismusic
